EIL to focus on non-fossil fuel business

Engineers India (EIL) is focusing on renewable energy projects in India along with the overseas market as it shifts from the construction of fossil-fuel plants towards its next phase of growth.

EIL is constructing the country’s first biorefinery, and will use bamboo to produce ethanol and is moving into green hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The company is also seeking projects overseas, particularly in the Middle East and Africa.

In the recent past, EIL added biofuels and green hydrogen to the list of industries where it delivers consultancy from design and feasibility studies to engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance.

Currently, the company is involved in projects such as the expansion of the Vizag oil refinery, building a new highly petrochemical-intensive oil refinery at Barmer in Rajasthan, and one of the largest petrochemical integration projects of HPCL Mittal Energy at Bhatinda in Punjab.

Likewise, EIL has marked its footprint in the implementation of biofuel projects. It is playing an integral role in delivering technological solutions for decarbonizing the aviation sector in collaboration with CSIR-IIP, Dehradun.
